We are back again with another Draft Competition this year for Call of Duty 4!

Thanks to Kingston Technology's ongoing support to the competitive gaming community on CyberGamer, there will be a Season 6 around the corner for the Invite/Main & Amateur divisions!

Like last season, after Draft, the top 32 ranked teams will be split into the 3 leagues to fight over a larger cash pool this time around. The Draft Competition will be run over X weeks, every Monday and Tuesday night, with scheduled times for 8:00PM AEST for the first round of matches, and 9:00PM AEST for the second round of matches.

Our decision to re-run a draft comp, was that there was too many teams that had too many team changes, and we decided that the leagues were too unstable to continue as they are with just a FFYI. Your placings in this competition will not exactly determine what league you are placed in, but will just influence us to see what teams deserve what spots, as there is a large amount of new teams to fill a large amount of spots

Register your team here to be put in the waiting pool http://www.cybergamer.com.au/pc/cod4/league/ and post your team's URL in this thread http://www.cybergamer.com.au/forums/thread/269358/

Signups are CLOSED. Draft Comp goes live on Monday night the 22nd.

ROSTER LOCK FOR THE DRAFT COMP IS MONDAY 4:00PM

RULES

• Teams have 15 minutes only to get a minimum of 4 players in the server to start the game. If you do not comply you will forfeit.
  
• If a team has 3 players in the server at any point during the match (player lag out, etc), they have the length of one Time-Out session only to get a 4th back in. This can be achieved by calling an in-game time out. (Default key binding is B >> 4 >> 1 or look through your /bindlist in console for mp_quickmessage)
  
• Only one timeout per side/per team is allowed, we do not appreciate time wasting.
  
• The opposing team may elect to wait longer or reschedule the game and we appreciate your good sportsmanship, but you are not required to and may forfeit the other team if you disagree at the 15 minute mark (unless they have a player on their way/connecting to the server).
  
• If a team agrees to wait and then goes back on the decision later during the match or after its completion to get the free win from a forfeit, they instead will receive the forfeit for bad sportsmanship/bad conduct. In this situation the opposing team is to provide proof (demo is usually the best option) showing the offence.
  
• Players must be in clean standing and have no outstanding match bans before competing.
  

MATCH DEMO RULES

• Recording of a demo is a mandatory requirement to participate in any event hosted by CyberGamer, no exceptions.
  
• Demo provision and uploading is upon request from any CoD4 admin unless otherwise stated; please ensure you keep your demos for a minimum of 2 weeks after the game.
  
• If you are requested to upload a demo, you must do so through CyberGamer's upload system:http://www.cybergamer.com.au/upload/
  
• No Record or Upload Penalty: 1st offence will result in a 1 week ban, 2nd offence results in 3 weeks, anything further could see a longer ban period if not permanent.
  

If for some reason a match server goes down during a round (such as an accidental double booking), that round is not counted and is labelled a "Dead Round". Please contact your designated CG League Admins to get the server fixed or a different CG server organized.

The Anti-Cheat team members have the ability to flag players for upload and review by the Demo Review team. This player is required to submit weekly demos until further notice (cleared by AC team).

bol to all 32 teams that make it

bol from abduul

should be good

Much fun will be had.

HEKTIK HAVING A HUGE NIGHT WITH SURPRISING ME!!!!

EDIT: DEFINE ORIGINAL LINEUP?

Gl to all

isnt it something along the lines of, at least 50% of previous team continue playing (i think)

So what's with all the teams posting after us getting put over hype?

I don't think its a good idea as a whole, the fact teams that just got together can just get put into cgi/m/a without having done anything as a team just seems unfair to teams that may do shit in the comp but have put alot of effort to get where they are.

How does the admin team select what teams are what leagues, what are the other factors?
